you read his plan, he does talk about how he wants to cut taxes, obama wants to raise them. he talks about how he wants deregulation, mr. obama wants more regulation. he wants to cut spending. president obabarack obamobama, wants more stimulus spending. so i think there's a pretty big clash between what these two candidates are talking about. >> and unfortunately, i don't think that the greatest economic challenges we're facing, he's not providing ideas or specificity. >> he wants to lower the corporate tax rate to 25%, overhaul the tax system, which is something we've been trying to do for a long time. >> and he has these major tax cuts, he didn't talk about them last weekend. >> he was over the tax system, but not saying which deductions or loopholes he would eliminate. >> if he said, we've got to get rid of the mortgage deduction or the charitable deduction or this deduction or that deduction, you in the media would be taking that plan apart. you've got to do this in the context of a broad reform where you're lowering rates and getting rid of as many deduction as you can.

they said he didn't pay taxes for ten years. now they're saying his business practices, he caused the death of a woman. on the other side, they're saying obama is the birther movement. he was born outside the united states, which is wrong. that he's a muslim, which is wrong. both sides, frankly, are playing dirty. >> in the romney campaign ad, they're saying -- which is a campaign ad, not a super pac ad. they're saying president obama is trying to gut welfare reform, that under his plan you wouldn't even have to work. you'll just be sent a check, which is factually not at all what they're proposing. it was interesting to hear newt gingrich tonight saying, well, we don't have any facts today. >> but in our heart we know. >> he's assuming thisased on his perception. >> newt himself, when he was on here, he really basically said, i wouldn't have written it this way, but we all know in our hearts what they really believe. they're closet socialists or whatever. >> does it matter? there's always factual inaccuracies in ads, and that's
